Beijing, December 21 (Xinhua) — The China-Russia Future Talent Development Plan has held numerous events since late 2023, promoting educational cooperation between the two countries.
Tang Weiyang, Deputy Director of the China Institute of International Exchanges and Educational Personnel Training, noted that the "China-Russia Future Personnel Training Plan," an important program promoted by the institute, aims to create a broader platform for education and exchange among young people from both countries.
Last month, at the invitation of the administration of Zhongshan Elementary School in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, eastern China, the faculty and students of the Ivanteyevka Municipal Budgetary General Education Institution Educational Center No. 7 visited the Nanjing Memorial Museum of the Anti-Japanese War Pilots, a Xinhua News Agency correspondent was told at the museum.
According to the organizers, the event's purpose was to honor the memory of Soviet volunteer pilots who valiantly supported China in the anti-fascist war, to preserve the shared historical memories of the two countries, and to deepen cultural exchanges between young people.
On the same day, the aforementioned museum also opened a Demonstration Base for Chinese-Russian Friendly Exchanges as part of the China-Russia Future Talent Development Plan. The base will serve as an important platform for ongoing exchanges between young people from China and Russia.
On December 13, as part of the 12th National Remembrance Day for the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre, a civil memorial service was held in Nanjing, capital of Jiangsu Province, eastern China, to honor the memory of the 300,000 compatriots who perished in the tragedy. On that day, students and teachers from schools participating in the "China-Russia Future Talent Development Plan"—namely, Zhongshan Elementary School, Qixia Middle School, Yanziji High School, and Nanjing Vocational Technical Institute of Electromechanics—visited the Nanjing Anti-Japanese War Pilots' Martyrdom Museum.
During their visit to the museum, Chinese students and teachers viewed the museum's extensive collection of exhibits and learned about the scale of the Soviet Union's assistance to the Chinese people in their resistance to the Japanese invaders, as well as the great feats of Soviet heroes.
Established in 2009, the Nanjing Anti-Japanese War Airmen's Memorial Museum is China's first memorial museum to international airmen who died in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. Its collection contains rich historical materials on the air forces of China, the Soviet Union, the United States, and other countries that fought together against Japanese aggression in China during World War II.
As a reminder, since 1995, the names of 4,299 Chinese and foreign fallen heroes, including 236 Soviet ones, have been engraved on marble memorial steles on the grounds of the aforementioned museum. In November 2024, the museum released for the first time a complete, updated list of these Soviet pilots who died in China during the Anti-Japanese War. And in May 2025, the museum published updated information on 18 Soviet volunteers. -0-
